I watched this Veritasium (who I'll admit is a bit cringe to still like in 2026) video about the not-so-mystereous disappearance of Amelia Earhart recently. What struck me more than the chain of events itself, is the way Derek (the creator of the channel and "Mr Veritasium " himself) portrays a character like Earhart.
In elementary school Earhart was a bold brave pilot and a symbol of women's achievement. In Veritasium Earhart was overconfident to the point of foolhardiness, and when conditions stopped being ideal the hubris lead to tragedy (c.f. Krakauer's Into Thin Air). Derek does try to assign some blame elsewhere suggesting that Thompson should have taken on more responsibility to correct her (which it self is kind of backhanded).
I just can't imagine 10 years ago a big channel putting out a video about this icon of women in aviation and how her death was the result of overconfidence and being in way over her head. And if he somehow did I can't imagine the video not getting brigaded and Derek not getting cancelled.
